Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, on 9 November, drew attention to the importance of Lok
Adalats in helping the poor to get justice.

"I am happy
that discussions are being held on how the poor will get justice. I
have been able to learn a lot by being here. There is so much concern
being shown for the poor, but there is little awareness about it,"
he said while addressing a conference on the occasion of Legal
Services Day.

Prime Minister Modi
highlighted his agenda of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' and said that
there must be 'Sabka Nyay' (justice for all).

The Prime Minister
also asked the law universities in the country to make their
contribution to his idea of 'Sabka Nyay'.

"Our law
universities should give special assignments to the students to do
research on Lok Adalats across the country. They should submit
reports and give their suggestions. The students should know what the
Lok Adalats are," he said.

"With legal
awareness, there must also be institutional awareness. Normal people
are willing to bear injustice but they stay away from the courts. Lok
Adalats have bridged this gap," he said.

Prime Minister Modi
highlighted that there are more than 15 lakh Lok Adalats in the
country which have delivered justice to 8.5 crore people.
